The statistics are pretty plain that
helmet wearing doesn't change the numbers or severity of head injuries.

That's surprising - & interesting - have you got some studies/references
we
can peruse?

Scuffham is the most important since it was a study done by a group who were
pro-helmet and unabashedly say that they intended to find a positive effect
for helmet use and instead no matter how they manipulated the data it showed
no effects. A later 're-interpretation' using complex mathematical methods
claims to have found a very slightly positive effect. That an $2.95 will get
